I get that this is in Toronto, but I was looking forward to a version of Grand Theft Auto based on Canadian stereotypes.

Oh, the police just beat the shit out of you. Not everyone in Canada is nicer.

But the police also speak French so that’s cool

The police just crashes into your vehicle like that?
